Totals and changes will not add precisely due to rounding. Cash is included in totals with duration and yield both equal to zero.
The various “Scraps” indices include issues with a DBRS rating of Pfd-3(high) or lower and issues with an Average Trading Value (calculated with HIMIPref™ methodology, which is relatively complex) of less than $25,000. The issues considered “Scraps” are subdivided into indices which reflect those of the main indices.
DeemedRetractibles were comprised of all Straight Perpetuals (both PerpetualDiscount and PerpetualPremium) issued by BMO, BNS, CM, ELF, GWO, HSB, IAG, MFC, NA, RY, SLF and TD, which are not exchangable into common at the option of the company or the regulator. These issues are analyzed as if their prospectuses included a requirement to redeem at par on or prior to 2022-1-31 in the case of banks or normally in the case of insurers and insurance holding companies, in addition to the call schedule explicitly defined. See the Deemed Retractible Review: September 2016 for the rationale behind this analysis and IAIS Says No To DeemedRetractions for the recent change in policy with respect to insurers.

Note that the estimate for the time this will become effective for insurers and insurance holding companies was extended by three years in April 2013, due to the delays in OSFI’s providing clarity on the issue and by a further five years in December, 2018; the estimate was eliminated in November. However, the distinctions are being kept because it is useful to distinguish insurance issues from others.

The name of this subindex has been changed to “Insurance Straight” as of November, 2020

Calculations of yield and related attributes of resettable instruments are performed assuming a constant GOC-5 rate of XXX%, a constant 3-Month Bill rate of XXX% and a constant Canada Prime Rate of XXX%

The “total” reflects the un-leveraged total portfolio (i.e., cash is included in the portfolio calculations and is deemed to have a duration and yield of 0.00.). MAPF will often have relatively large cash balances, both credit and debit, to facilitate trading. Figures presented in the table have been rounded to the indicated precision.

Credit distribution is:

Distribution of Floating Rate Start Dates is shown in the table below. This is the date of the next adjustment to the dividend rate, if the issue is currently paying a fixed rate for a limited time; which in practice is successive terms of 5 years. Issues that adjust quarterly are considered “Currently Floating”.

MAPF is, of course, Malachite Aggressive Preferred Fund, a “unit trust” managed by Hymas Investment Management Inc. Further information and links to performance, audited financials and subscription information are available the fund’s web page. The fund may be purchased directly from Hymas Investment Management. A “unit trust” is like a regular mutual fund, but are not sold with a prospectus This is cheaper, but means subscription is restricted to “accredited investors” (as defined by the Ontario Securities Commission). Fund past performances are not a guarantee of future performance. You can lose money investing in MAPF or any other fund.

Market Action

July 2, 2025

Another 52-week high, with the TXPR price index up 0.31% on the day. It is of interest to note that the YTW spread between FixedReset (Discounts) and PerpetualDiscounts is now only 10bp.

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 5.90%, equivalent to 7.67% interest at the standard conversion factor of 1.3x. Long corporates now yield 4.90%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) is now 275bp, a slight (and perhaps spurious) narrowing from the 280bp reported June 25

Another eMail Problem

Just when I thought the end of the nightmare was close, I find I have another eMail server problem, with junk eMails apparently being sent from my main address, jiHymas@himivest.com.

The mailServer programme on my “websites” machine has now been turned off until I figure out what is going on.

I have sent an urgent message to my website administrator; until further notice, please use my backup eMail address, jiHymas@himipref.com, which is hosted on another server.

Update, 2025-06-30: This issue has been resolved. I hope.

June 27, 2025

Another new 52-week high in the TXPR Price Index today – it closed at the day’s high of 659.14, up 0.10% on the day, above the previous 52-week high of 658.61 set yesterday.

This was despite the excitment of a Trumper tantrum, this one about the Digital Service Tax:

President Donald Trump said Friday he has put an end to trade talks with Canada and will soon announce a new tariff rate for that country, he said in a Truth Social post on Friday.

The decision to end negotiations, which have been ongoing for several months, came after Canada announced a digital service tax, Trump said, calling it “a direct and blatant attack on our Country.”

“Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period,” he said.

Trump has taken particular issue with DSTs throughout trade negotiations with other countries, commonly referring to them as “non-tariff trade barriers.” Canada has a new DST that is set to take effect on Monday that will be retroactive to 2022.

Digital services taxes are a way for countries to tax online services, in contrast to taxes on physical products. Countries with these taxes can collect revenue from large companies that operate online — even if the business is unprofitable. American firms, especially Big Tech companies such as Meta, Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft, are disproportionately affected by DSTs, according to a report published last year by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service.

The current status of global DSTs is recorded HERE, which explains:

DST’s are a new class of taxes being implemented to tackle the perceived unfairness of non-resident digital companies to sell across borders without being liable to local corporate income taxes. They are typically a percentage charge of turnover from digital ad’s, content and platform services, with a sales threshold based on in-country and global income.

On 21 February 2025, President Trump ordered DST tariff retaliation review. On 20 January, President Trump withdrew the US from the OECD Pillar 1 negotiations global digital tax reform negotiations.

It is also of interest to peruse the list of US States with DSTs.
